1/ The aspect of time-based incentives is probably the least explored design space in crypto despite possibly being one of the most powerful.

The Bridge Panel Spotlight:
The Beta Problem: Are Crypto Hedge Funds Just Levered Index Trackers?
Do crypto hedge funds really deliver alpha, or are they just providing packaged beta exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum? LPs, allocators, and managers will debate whether true skill exists in digital asset hedge funds — and how to separate it from disguised market exposure.

1/ @multicoin is happy to release a paper arguing against the Winklevoss Standard, a test that frustrates listing digital asset ETPs. In it, we argue the SEC should return to the statutory 6(b)(5) meaning & craft generic standards. https://t.co/KRYujYsPRg

I’ll be attending The Digital Assets Summit on Friday, March 7th at the White House.

I look forward to collaborating with industry peers, the Trump administration, and elected officials to ensure crypto thrives in America.

Thank you to President Trump for this wonderful opportunity!

0/ Hey everyone! It's Breakpoint time, which means that tons of talented people are together in Lisbon.

Here is a thread of our portfolio companies that are at Breakpoint. Hope this thread can help you get connected with the right people

I did ask everyone to open their DMs :)

[Matt Shapiro @mattshap1]

8/ Don't take my word for it though - hear it right from @will_levis, you can literally ask @JalonDaniels6 yourself, and dive into the @GoRockChalk, @UKBlueChips, and @ChargeOnxyz communities today!

[Matt Shapiro @mattshap1]

1/ I'm excited to announce that Multicoin has led a $7.5M seed round in Mercury. Crypto + sports is going to be BIG. @TeamM3rcury is leading the charge by using digital assets to reimagine the collegiate fan experience https://t.co/mBnii8w2cM

[Matt Shapiro @mattshap1]

7/ Mercury gives universities a superpower to better engage with fans, athletes, students, & alumni. I think a core component of the future of recruiting will be schools offering “NIL in a box” - programs that support the growth of players’ brands when they walk on campus day 1
